Filharmonia Day

Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Matthew Halls and the musicians of the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra (TPO) warmly welcome all music enthusiasts to visit their home venue, Tampere Hall.

During the event, you’ll get a behind‑the‑scenes look of the orchestra, experience a musician’s job interview in a mock audition, meet the orchestra’s musicians and explore their instruments. The program also includes guided building tours, a prize wheel, special ticket offers, and activities for children.

If you wish to start your day with good food accompanied by good music, the delicious Faun Brunch is the perfect choice. The brunch buffet starts at 10 am, and TPO’s chamber ensembles will make the moment even more delightful by performing during the event. The brunch served by Tampere Hall Restaurants cost €26 each, but all other Filharmonia Day’s programme activities are free of charge. You can also enjoy the Fauns’ musical performances without attending the brunch. For more information about the brunch and advance reservations, please contact: ravintola@tampere-talo.fi.
